The best shows you are most likely not watching.
The Wire ***** (imdb)
This West Baltimore based police drama is like nothing you've seen.
The Wire depicts the lives of an anti drug unit (detail) in Baltimore trying to catch the big fish of a larger than life drug operation. Pressed you would have to say the main character is Detective Jim McNulty but don be fooled because The Wire's cast is the largest and most complex array of characters ever to arrive in the small screen.

The beauty of The Wire is that with their 3 season (so far) character arches you get to experience every side of the story and spend time with EVERY character of this ice cold coral drama.
For a show like this a simple cat and mouse with the drug dealers wouldn't have been enough. Thats why the basic storylines include Police department politics ,Corruption in high and higher places, Gangster territorial dominantion and sex (hey, its HBO).
I cant recomend the Wire enough but be warned it can get really violent and if you think that Tony Soprano is apotty mouth youre better off avoiding it, TV this good comes along once in a very long while but its not for the faint.
